28.D

29.A

30.C

31.B试题分析:本文介绍影响吃的过量的几个因素。28.D推理判断题。根据第一段“Peopleeatingwithoneotherpersoneat35percentmorethantheydoathome.Peopledininginapartyoffoureat75percentmore.”和另外一个人一起吃会多于在家吃的35%；四个人一起吃会多吃75%可知过度饮食的一个原因是和很多人一起吃，故选D。29.A句意理解题。根据第三段That’sperhapsalsowhyeatingorganic(有机的)foodmightturnyouintoanannoyingguy.Yourbrainmayuseanythingthatmakesyoufeelgoodaboutyourownmoralitytoexcuseyourimmoralbehavior.可推断出一个讨厌的人是一个为自己吃过量找借口的人。故选A。30.C细节理解题。根据最后一段“Peoplewhohavelowbloodsugararemorelikelythantheaveragepersontohavetroubleconcentratingandcontrollingtheirunpleasantemotions.”低血糖的人更有可能不专注以及无法控制他们不开心的情绪，因而更有可能做出错误的判断。顾璇C。31.B主旨大意题。文章第一段便可看出本文大意“Modernhumanshaveahardtimecontrollingtheirdesiretoeat.Oftenyoueatnotbecauseyouarehungry,butbecauseyouareaffectedbymanyotherthings.”现代人很难控制他们的食欲。通常他们吃不是因为他们饿了，而是受到很多因素的影响。下文介绍影响人们过度饮食的因素，故“什么影响吃？”作为本文的标题最合适。故选B。考点：考查健康类短文阅读。23.Whatmakesagiftspecial?Isitthepriceyouseeonthegiftreceipt?Orisitthelookontherecipient'sfacewhentheyreceiveitthatdeterminesthetruevalue?Whatgiftisworththemost?ThisChristmasIwasdebatingwhattogivemyfather.Mydadisahardpersontobuyforbecauseheneverwantsanything.IpulledoutmyphonetoreadatextmessagefrommymomsayingthatwewereleavingforChristmasshoppingforhimwhenIcameacrossamessageonmyphonethatIhadlocked.Themessagewasfrommyfather.MyeyesfellonaphotoofaflowertakeninWyoming.andunderneathapoembyWilliamBlake.Theflower,alonedandelionstandingagainstthebrightbluesky,inspiredme.MydadhadbeenrecitingthosewordstomesinceIwasakid.ThatmayevenbethereasonwhyIlovewriting.Idecidedthatthosewordswouldbemygifttomyfather.Icalledback.ItoldmymomtogowithoutmeandthatIalreadycreatedmygift.Isentthephotoofthecream-color1edflowertomycomputerandt
